Download or read book Social Impact Analysis written by Laurence R. Goldman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the nature, purpose and processes associated with social impact analysis. Because resource development projects occur in human as well as ecological environments, stakeholders - landowners, companies and governments - are compelled to ensure that the benefits of any project are maximized while the negative risks are minimized. Achieving such objectives means implementing programs which monitor and evaluate the ongoing effects of a project on the social and cultural lives of the impacted populace. This book aims to provide a teaching and training resource for students, social scientists (anthropologists, sociologists, human geographers, environmentalists, engineers, etc.) and indigenous personnel and operators who are tasked with community affairs programs in those countries where resource development projects are implemented. The constituent chapters provide how-to guides and frameworks that are generously illustrated with case studies drawn variously from North America and the Asia-Pacific region. Topics addressed include Legal Frameworks and Compliance Procedures, Social Mapping, Environmental Reports, Social and Economic Impact Studies, Social Monitoring Techniques, Project Development, Statistical Packages and Report Production.This book is unique in so far as it seeks to prioritize application over theory. Moreover, it is the first training resource that is sensitive to non-western indigenes' need to assimilate and apply skills engendered by Western countries.

Download or read book Power Culture Economy written by Jon Altman and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research over the past decade in health, employment, life expectancy, child mortality, and household income has confirmed that Indigenous Australians are still Australia's most disadvantaged group. Those residing in communities in regional and remote Australia are further disadvantaged because of the limited formal economic opportunities there. In these areas mining developments may be the major-and sometimes the only-contributors to regional economic development. However Indigenous communities have gained only relatively limited long-term economic development benefits from mining activity on land that they own or over which they have property rights of varying significance. Furthermore, while Indigenous people may place high value on realising particular non-economic benefits from mining agreements, there may be only limited capacity to deliver such benefits. This collection of papers focuses on three large, ongoing mining operations in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory under two statutory regimes-the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 and the Native Title Act 1993. The authors outline the institutional basis to greater industry involvement while describing and analysing the best practice principles that can be utilised both by companies and Indigenous community organisations. The research addresses questions such as: What factors underlie successful investment in community relations and associated agreement governance and benefit packages for Indigenous communities? How are economic and non-economic flows monitored? What are the values and aspirations which Indigenous people may bring to bear in their engagement with mining developments? What more should companies and government do to develop the capacity and sustainability of local Indigenous organisations? What mining company strategies build community capacity to deal with impacts of mining? Are these adequate? How to prepare for sustainable futures for Indigenous Australians after mine closure? This research was conducted under an Australian Research Council Linkage Project, with Rio Tinto and the Committee for Economic Development of Australia as Industry Partners.

Download or read book Why Warriors Lie Down and Die written by Richard Trudgen and published by Why Warriors Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Warriors Lie Down and Die is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the true causes of the problems facing First Nations people worldwide. Through the history and perspectives of the Yolngu people of northern Australia, this book brings practical insight into the cross-cultural dynamics and systemic barriers that lead to social breakdown and how to do things better. In Arnhem Land, as in Indigenous communities across Australia, the situation is dire: health is poor, unemployment is rife, and life is short. Why Warriors Lie Down and Die is a unique analysis of this crisis and offers examples of how the people can once again take control of their own lives. Finding the real causes of this crisis requires the reader to look at it from the other side of the cultural and language divide—the side where the people themselves live. The book Why Warriors Lie Down and Die takes us to that side. “Many books have been written about the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land, Australia. This one is very different. It speaks about the real situation that we face every day, a reality that is hard for people of another culture to imagine. Please join us on this journey of trying to understand each other.” Rev. Dr. Djiniyini Gondarra OAM Powerful storytelling Why Warriors Lie Down and Die uses a blend of critical and exploratory thinking about inter-cultural interactions, a deep understanding of Yolngu culture, personal experience, and powerful story-telling. Universities and grass-roots professionals all over the world continue to use it to better understand First Nation communities. Why Warriors Lie Down and Die, was written by Richard Trudgen in 2000, and has sold over 42,000 copies. Yet it seems as if it was written just yesterday due to its enduring real-life revelations of the cross-cultural dynamics that continue to persist and destroy attempts by the Yolngu, and other peoples like them, to achieve health, prosperity, and peace for their communities. The situation is dire For many Indigenous Australians, health is poor, and they die early in life. Training, schooling, and employment outcomes are dismal, and incarceration rates are the highest in the world. This book offers a very different understanding of this crisis, told from the people’s own experiences. It will take the reader to another side of life—a side that most policymakers and program managers know little about. It reveals hidden mechanisms of failure that underlie these experiences, working unseen in culturally distinct and marginalised communities the world over. By seeing this new perspective, the solutions are visible, so that empowerment and hope is found for the challenges of First Nations peoples. For history Buffs The first 5 chapters cover some of the history of the colonisation of east Arnhem Land, NT, Australia with unique stories from the perspectives of the Yolngu people.
